    Hi, Please may I join in.
    I will mostly be lurking but have tried your schedule for the last 2 weeks and some of your hints tips have really transformed the way I clean! I don't seem to be spending anywhere near as much time cleaning and yet my home looks better than it has in years. I absolutely adore the 15 min thing with a timer, especially on a "can't be bothered" day. I was actually looking for things to clean on Saturday lol, because I still had time left in my 15mins.
    So big Thank you to whom ever(sp?) came up with that little gem of an idea.

    Thanks, Penpen. I've got the second cup of herbal/fruit tea on the go and after two more HHCs the clean space in the kitchen has expanded a bit. Just making DS2 some toast, then I'm back to tidying and scrubbing.

    HHC at 10.50, anyone?
